From: Alexey Dobriyan Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2009 19:48:06 +0000 (+0300) Subject: proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=99b76233803beab302123d243eea9e41149804f3;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it. Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan --- diff --git a/Documentation/DocBook/procfs_example.c b/Documentation/DocBook/procfs_example.c index 8c6396e4bf31..a5b11793b1e0 100644 --- a/Documentation/DocBook/procfs_example.c +++ b/Documentation/DocBook/procfs_example.c @@ -117,9 +117,6 @@ static int __init init_procfs_example(void) rv = -ENOMEM;
